Hehe, is he really a big hatchling? I just weighed him on my digital gram scale, and he isnt even reading on it, he is too light. Same with the other one. I still cant get over how TINY they both are. :)

Lol...you'll have to get a scale that reads in 10ths. My little ones weighed 2.0 and 1.9 when they hatched.

Hmm that little guy can't be under a gram..........some scales just don't know lol. Maybe try putting something heavy-ish on the scale and then put him on top.....it could work. Looking at this is making my inpatient for my eggs to hatch lol!

If you don't have a TARE option on your scale, weigh a dollar bill. It should read as 1.0 gram, then you know your scale is weighing correctly.

OK. Maybe my scale was tilted funny when i weighed em earlier. I got it to read 1 gram for a dollar bill then I tried the babies. The one in the pic is 2 grams, and the other one that hatched before him, it kept teetering from 1 to 2 grams (it doesnt do tenths of a gram). :)
